LX rear derailleur - which pulley on top?
I took apart my old (1994ish) LX derailleur but didn't see which pulley went on top. Both are plastic but one has a steel bushing embedded in the pulley and the other doesn't. Any idea which is on top? TIA!

The one with the steel bushing goes is the top one. It is a floating jockey pulley for indexed shifting.
